💁🏻♀️ ICYMI: 🐻🐟 Photographer Drew Simms captured coastal brown #bears #fishing for leaping #salmon in #Katmai National Park. The footage tracks famous bears like two-time #FatBearWeek champion 747 bulking up along Alaskan #rivers ahead of #winter #hibernation.

Not news (I’m repeating myself), but I HATE THE DARK NIGHTS!
It’s only early September so there’s so much longer to go… but I’ve hit the hibernation phase I go through… unstoppable evening snacking! 😭
What makes it worse is that earlier this year I lost 12.8 kg (28 pounds/2 stone-ish). 2 kg have crept back on (well not so much crept as gobbled… craving crisps something awful…)
Heck!
Make it stop!
(Humour me… just shouting into the void…)

Thanks for reading/caring.
PLEASE boost this forward.
The more informed, the more queens survive and the more #bumblebees we have.
Simple.
Our native wild #bees are in trouble and we need to be there for them every way we can.
Thanks again for helping!
Have a great one. 8/8

Usually once she takes on some sugars and heats up she’ll happily fly off.
Don’t bring her indoors for long periods! If she has already established a nest and laid eggs she needs to get back to sit on them before they cool down. 7/8#bees #beesofmastodon #bumblebees

In this case preference is to move her to a nearby source of #nectar - a #flower! If no flowers are nearby she can be offered a 50/50 mix of white sugar and water.
NEVER offer her honey as although it would seem to be the obvious action honey can contain pathogens that may be harmful to #bumblebees 6/8#bees #beesofmastodon

As with sleeping dogs leave resting bees lie - for up to an hour before intervening. (Unless of course she is in imminent danger whereby she should be carefully moved to a safe place). If after about an hour she is still present then she may need assistance. 5/8

These between flight stopovers can last for up to an hour and #bees are not always careful about where they take them - sometimes the middle of a footpath can be the ‘ideal’ spot!
So if you see a big #bumblebee chilling on the ground don’t always presume she needs rescuing! 4/8#bumblebees #beesofmastodon

Hence you will observe queens flying low to the ground zig-zagging across the landscape - they’re house-hunting. Stopping to explore in long grass and vegetation, hollows in trees, stone walls, under sheds and even compost heaps. During this time bumblebee queens spend a lot of their time resting between flights. 3/8

Bumblebee queens emerge in early spring from hibernation and immediately need to feed - that’s why early flowering plants are so important. Apart from feeding, their mission at this time is to find a suitable site to establish a nest. 2/8

Mornin’.
Many people asking us about #bumblebees at the moment - why they’re seeing them on the ground - so what follows is a quick series of toots to explain what they’re up to. Please #boost as every #queen bumblebee that survives means a new colony that gets to exist and produce new queen bees for next year! 1/8
